George “Stormy” Kromer was a semi-pro baseball player and railroad engineer who always lost his hat to the gusts that blew through his locomotive. So he asked his wife, Ida, to put a needle and thread to one of his old baseball caps. The “Kromer” they created in 1903 is now legendary for its comfort, warmth, durability – and grip when the wind blows. Now we offer it in this new improved version with stretch panels in the headband, for a secure and comfortable fit on a wide variety of head sizes. Outside flaps, as always, can be pulled down over your ears. Made in the north woods near Ironwood, MI.

Here in the high desert it gets cold when the sun goes down and the wind starts to blow. I have worn this cap every day since I got it. It is a great weight, not too hot or too cold. The fit is spot on, the flex fabric snugs it to my head without feeling too tight. The ear band is a good compromise between covering my ears and being able to and hear. I have some hearing problems and a full over the ear flap causes me to miss conversations. With this cap my ears are covered enough so they are not uncomfortable, and I have all my hearing. My wife and daughter have not stopped teasing me on the look. I like it. It is distinctive. And it works.

I have searched for years to find the same type of cap worn by Ed Gein (the noted serial killer/cannibal from Plainfield, Wis) . . . and finally found it at Duluth Trading. I am overjoyed beyond words, except for the few I am permitted to write here. After Duluth ended my longterm quest, I expect to remain a customer for other products for years to come. Thanks!
